Some observations regarding the "Syntax tips (GSP x FTL)" page:

- You should tell/demonstrate this (and you can copy-paste this if you
  want to):

    Parameter values are (arbitrary complex) expressions that are not
    quoted. So assuming you want to pass an integer to foo, <@foo
    bar=1 /> is good, but <@foo bar="1" /> is wrong as it passes in
    the value as a string (because "1" is a string literal, just like
    in Groovy). For the same reason, <@foo bar=x+1 /> is good, but
    <@foo bar="${x+1}" /> does something else.

  Not realizing this is by far the most frequent source of confusion
  with FreeMarker.

- "{'key1': 'abc', 'key2': 2}" is not a FreeMarker template, but a
  FreeMarker expression.

- "Tags x Directives". I don't know what the GSP terminology is, but
  following the SGML terminology, this is a tag: "<foo>", also this is
  a tag: "</foo>", but both refers to the "foo" element. Similarly, what
  you show there is a FreeMarker tag, which refers to a FreeMarker
  directive. Now if GSP guys really call their function-like thins
  tags (as opposed to the syntactical feature that they are using to
  call them), then your title makes sense (and then the GSP terminology
  is flawed).

- I don't think the "x" notation for "VS" is widely recognized.
  Yeah, people will figure it out at a point, but still...
